Workshop: Sustainable Collective Organizing and Collaboration

Collective organizing — full of joys, full of...headaches. For anyone with experience living, working or organizing in collective structures, you know that this type of collaboration comes with a unique set of challenges. So what are some concrete things we can implement to work together more sustainably? How can we continue to recognize and value each other's humanity, even and especially when the times get tough? In this conversation-based interactive workshop, we will together explore practical tools, strategies and frameworks for meeting and working together in more sustainable ways. Some topics we will touch on: access, embodiment, intentions, consensus, and emergent strategy. The format of the workshop taps into the lived experiences of participants in the space, and the facilitator will also share some beloved practices from their own experiences working with and as a part of many collectives and groups through the years. Come prepared to learn, experiment, and maybe even have a little fun. Sarj Lynch is a Berlin-based facilitator, collaboration designer and community care organizer with a lot of curiosity.
